Muslim Protester Held Sign Asking For Hugs To Show He’s Not A Terrorist, Just One Problem…

A Muslim man protesting outside of the British Parliament with a sign reading, “I am Muslim, do you trust me enough for a hug?” faces jail time for threatening to bomb a member of Parliament’s home.

Craig Wallace, 23, a Muslim convert, carried the sign amid “Stop The War” protesters demonstrating in London before Parliament voted last week to authorize airstrikes against ISIS in Syria, the Daily Mail reported.

Wallace, who goes by Muhammad Mujahid Islam online, threatened Tory MP Charlotte Leslie in a Facebook post following the vote, which read: “I’m going to smash her windows then drop a bomb on her house while she’s tucked up in bed. You dirty f****** pig-s******* s***.”

The man also sent an email to Labour MP Hilary Benn, who made a highly publicized speech in Parliament in favor of the authorizing the airstrikes, against the majority of his party. The email read: “I hope to God that you will have nightmares when you hear that kids woman and men have been murdered by your govt.”

Wallace also posted images on his Facebook page with a sniper target over Prime Minister David Cameron’s face, as well as a “wanted dead or alive” poster featuring the prime minister.

British Muslim convert Craig Wallace posted these threatening images of Prime Minister David Cameron on his Facebook page.

Wallace’s defense lawyer, Abu Sayeed, said his client had been up for “two or three days and had very little sleep and had not taken his [anti-psychotic] medication.”

“He has co-operated fully with the police and expressed remorse and regret,'” Sayeed added, according to the Daily Mail. “He made the comments to vent his anger … Mr Wallace is a Muslim convert, he converted while serving his last sentence [in prison for attempted robbery]. He feels very passionately about the bombing in Syria and the vote recently taken in Parliament.”

Wallace will be held in custody until his sentencing hearing, which is set for Dec. 30.
